Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:37): Any letter that this government sends to people will at least be truthful, unlike the Leader of the Opposition's letter claiming, in 2012, that a budget surplus had been delivered. Is that true? Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: All members will put props down. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: No, you won't. Down. Mr ABBOTT: Something else the Leader of the Opposition sent out to the public of Australia–I don't want to display it, but I am reading from it: 'Carbon tax abolished'. I stand amazed at the question from the Leader of the Opposition— Mr Shorten interjecting— Ms Owens interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will desist, and so will the member for Parramatta. Mr ABBOTT: given that he sent material out to the people of Australia claiming 'carbon tax abolished'. Really and truly. The barefaced gall. The absolute hide. The sheer front of this person. An absolute serial deceiver of the Australian people—just as he was a serial deceiver of former Prime Minister Rudd and former Prime Minister Gillard. Mr Dreyfus: Nobody believes you! The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs will withdraw. Mr Dreyfus: I withdraw. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, a point of order— The SPEAKER: It had better be good, in the light of the commentary that is coming across the table from the Leader of the Opposition. Mr Burke: It is on direct relevance. The SPEAKER: This is a very wide-ranging question. The Prime Minister has the call and the Leader of the Opposition will desist commentary across the table. Mr ABBOTT: Really and truly. For this Leader of the Opposition, for this serial deceiver of the Australian people, to complain about a letter that might be sent out by this government to tell the Australian people— Ms Kate Ellis interjecting— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Adelaide will desist, and the member for Sydney. Mr ABBOTT: that pensions will go up every March and every September, every single year, really and truly. If this Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about telling the truth— Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs is warned. Mr ABBOTT: if this Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about being trustworthy, we are coming up to the fourth anniversary of— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sydney is warned. Mr ABBOTT: his trustworthiness to Prime Minister Rudd, and we are coming up to the first anniversary of his trustworthiness to Prime Minister Gillard. If Prime Minister Rudd and Prime Minister Gillard could not trust this Leader of the Opposition, the Australian people never can.
